Several Offenders and The History Of the
Grimes.

~ ~
Grimes.
For the last two days and nights the
fracas record has loomed up. On
Monday morning early n OF Dowd's
bartenders, by the name Of S.ockwell,
literally kicked the stufing out Of u
poor drunken devil. The csuses for
the assault are not known, but any
way the fellow was very drunk. He
had three ribs broken and received
several well directed kicks in tn,
lower portion Of the abdomen. Com.
plant was made before Judge Gibbs
charging Stockwell with assault with
intent TO do bodily injury, and he was
released on 500 bail for appearance
before Gibbs this morning. County
Attorney Milburn had the assaulted
man examined by Drs. Bysl and
Green to discover the extent Of his in
jules and then hired a conveyance to
take him to the county hospital. The
terms Of the complaint will probably
be changed in accordance with the IN.
juries sustained by the victim If the
assault.
Case No. 2 was of a fellow being
drunk and who gave his name H.
Evans and was turned ovefto the care
O! the county jailer for thirty days.
No. 3 wa that Of N soldier playing
the same old racket of which the
JOURNAL treated notwithstanding
for the svowed purr ose Of being dis
charged from service. This gentle
man Of the blue ~purloined some arti-
Giles Of clothing aud then gave himself
up. on er VIM Carr arrested him
and he wa tried tefore Judge Birkle.
The soldier expressed his desire for .
long sentence. OF three months say,
but Attorney Milburn made a few re-
marks concerning the matter, which
resulted in his suggestion of ten days
in the county Jail with a diet Of bread
and water and an additional seven
days for costs. Mr.. Milburn'is deter
mined to break up the system now
practiced by the soldiers for Kidding
themselves Of the letters of enlistment.
On Monday night an episode which
might have resulted in a tragedy took
place at the European restaurant.
Will Whiteside was in the bar room
on his way through to the dining
room, and was accoutered In his fiashy
~toboggan suit. He was sccosted by
Jesse Garland, q of the county COW
boys, who was very drunk and wanted
to have some fun with Will. Garland
requested Will to do a little dancing,
but Will was not at all anxious TO
make IN exhibition of his proficiency
in the clog or double-shuffie and de-
clined TO perform. Garland then
drew his pistol and emphasized the
former request; but viii wouldn't be
bluffed, so the matter ended, friends
Of Garland interfering. This trouble
is to be regretted, as Jesse is As fine u
fellow rs ever backed a broncho and
under ordinary circumstances a per-
feet gentleman and knowing this to
he so Wbiteside forbore making any
complaint, but Constable Russell was
apprised Of the occurrence and In per-
Torrance Of his duty swore out q wat
rant for the arrest Of Garland. 1t was
not served, however, Garland leaving
on yesterday mornings delayed train
for Rosebud, but Constable Beeman,
Of that place, was notified to hold
him. Gun play, even in fun, is more
than playing with edged tools, and
the boys should remember II and to
avoid any such temptation, lay aside
their weapons whenever they come
into town, which would not only be
In compliance with law but would
render such q contretemps as this i'm.
possible.
